to determine the minimum bid;
- set auction time if a trading platform has its own terms of trades;
- specify the payment method (for example, on Ebay will work only with PayPal payment system for making secure transactions);
- note the method and cost of delivery;
- specify your maximum bid on the item if it is provided by a marketplace.
